A number of investments were made under previous programs and under the national trade corridors fund program, which included port projects and required new or expanded CBSA services. This included, for example, the project at Duke Point, at the port of Nanaimo in B.C. Contrecoeur actually was first announced under the NTCF program, with a contribution of $150 million from the Government of Canada as well as $130 million from the province of Quebec.
There were additional initiatives at the ports of Halifax, Saint John, and Argentia in Newfoundland, all of which also required additional CBSA services.
